title: (2E)-3-(6-Chloro-2-meth-oxy-quinolin-3-yl)-1-(2,4-di-methyl-quinolin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, C24H19ClN2O2, is bent, with the dihedral angle between the terminal quinoline ring systems being 63.30 (5)°. The quinolinyl residues are connected by an almost planar prop-2-en-1-one bridge (r.m.s. deviation = 0.022 Å), with the dihedral angles between this plane and the appended quinolinyl residues being 75.86 (7) and 38.54 (7)°. The C atom of the meth-oxy group is close to coplanar with its attached ring [deviation = 0.116 (2) Å]. In the crystal, a three-dimensional architecture is constructed by meth-yl-carbonyl C-H⋯O inter-actions and π-π inter-actions between centrosymmetrically related quinolinyl residues [centroid-to-centroid separations 3.5341 (10) and 3.8719 (9) Å].
